# On-chain/Off-chain Hybrid

#### To strike a balance between security and scalability, Health Throve incorporates a hybrid on-chain and off-chain data model. Sensitive medical records and media are stored off-chain in encrypted formats, ensuring that personal data remains secure while keeping blockchain transaction costs low. <br>

#### &#x20;Meanwhile, critical actions like consent management, record audits, and access logs are maintained on-chain, ensuring full transparency and traceability. This hybrid approach allows Health Throve to deliver a scalable, secure, and efficient healthcare platform without compromising on performance.
